people are going to be, in some ways, influenced in his showmanship, because clearly he s taking this with donald trump, all the showmanship and substance. we ve seen the danger that could happen on people. we sure have. we have, thank you so much. we know that ayanna pressley will be on your show in just a few hours for. now on politicsnation. thank, you rub, for that. perfect time to pivot back, everyone. we re going to go back to jacksonville, and we re going to be listening to the sheriff d.k. waters who is speaking today, right now, about the shooting in jacksonville. take a listen. before the investigation is completed, this briefing is a only citation a verified information. i want to begin by honoring the three precious lives that were lost yesterday. angela michel car, 52 years old. and old joseph, or a.j.,
